Re: I don't understand.

I'm with you, callum! i dont understand why kids whinge that the healthy food they get served is 'crap!'the food at my skool in NSW is absolute rubish! i get funny looks from the kids if i bring a HEALTHY salad or decsent foods, shouldnt it be the other way round? its becoz they arent used to food like that, and instead buy pies and coke from the canteen. our skool recently made healthy changes. wanna kno what the biggest change was? they replaced normal coke for diet coke!!!!!kids in 3rd world countries would give anything for a bit of nutritious food, yet, kids that come from a more privelidged background carry on because they cant have there fave foods like greasy burgers!!!geez, i think people should stop taking for granted what they have got, and take a look at how kids are starving on the other side of the world!!!!!!!!

Re: I don't understand.

Hi Callum and Emmylu, I think it all comes down to money!! The government here in the US puts children and elderly at the bottom of the list when it comes to the budget. These last 6 years have been the worst. Hopefully in 2 years the people will change the government makeup and common sense will prevail! Good luck to both of you and keep those good heads on your shoulders!!

Re: I don't understand.

thanks ann.i think it has a lot to do with money, but at our skool, i think its more to do with fact the teachers dont care.at the end of the day, they can go and sit in the staff room and eat whatever they want, wheras the students get left with the crappy food from the canteen... we dont get the luxury.but as i said, i think when you come from a country that has the priveledge of choosing what you eat and when you eat it, you tend to take this for granted more than we should... we should just be happy we actualy have food on our table everyday...
